Homepage Content Architecture Guide

A planning guide for organizing homepage messaging, section order, proof points, and CTAs before design or block implementation begins.

Planning and execution

This guide helps plan a homepage as a structured path through positioning, proof, services, and next steps rather than a collection of disconnected sections.

Use this when

  • A homepage needs clearer hierarchy before design starts.
  • The business offers multiple services or audiences.
  • Editors need content rules for reusable homepage sections.

Homepage planning worksheet

  • Who is the primary audience?
  • What problem do they need solved?
  • What should they understand in the first screen?
  • What proof needs to appear before asking for action?
  • What is the primary next step?
  1. Hero promise and primary action.
  2. Who the service or site is a good fit for.
  3. Core services or capabilities.
  4. Proof, work examples, outcomes, or credibility markers.
  5. Process or what it is like to work together.
  6. Final CTA with a low-friction next step.

Content prompts

  • Write one sentence that explains what the site offers and who it helps.
  • List the objections a visitor may have before contacting you.
  • Choose proof points that answer those objections.
  • Define which sections should be reusable or editable after launch.

Quality check

  • The first screen should explain who the site helps and how.
  • Section order should build trust before asking for action.
  • Repeated CTA sections should not repeat the same copy verbatim.
